User Unable to Connect IPSEC VPN

Firebox M470 running 12.5.2

I have a user that is unable to connect from home using IPSEC through his ISP. However, if he uses his phone as a hotspot he can connect. The ISP provider is stumped, pointing fingers at us preventing the traffic. I say "Doubt 100" because I have around 100 employees working from home just fine, but I thought I'd cover my bases and see what any of you think.

When I look at System Manager for the users external IP while trying to connect this is what I see -

    Nothing helpful to me in these logs.

    Time for a support incident.
    Most likely they will want to see more log entries related to this, perhaps from the connection attempt.
